This is the Cunt running everything… Miliband defies Starmer over cuts to fund defence Sources claim the Energy Secretary is resisting demands to reduce spending on net zero Ed Miliband is resisting pressure from Sir Keir Starmer to cut spending in his department amid a Cabinet row about how to fund defence. Sources said the Energy Secretary was pushing back against demands to find capital budget savings of at least 1pc within the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to help fund the long-delayed defence investment plan (DIP). The ultimatum from No 10 would potentially force Mr Miliband to cut spending on net zero schemes by hundreds of millions of pounds, including support for heat pumps, carbon capture and hydrogen production. A 1pc cut to the capital budget of Mr Miliband’s department in the five-year spending period would amount to more than £600m. No 10 is reportedly eyeing even greater cuts to net zero expenditure, where £9bn alone is set to be spent on controversial carbon capture and storage – a technology that has never been commercially proven.
